The RepublIcan Mass Meetinr.

The Republicans held their first mass
meeting or the campaign In this city last
night, which, owing to the Indictment
weather took place at Masonic Opera
House. A large and enthusiastic crowd
filled the hall. J. Writ Randall, ESQ. candi-
date for senator, presided. In taking the
chair. he said the country was arising for
fair elections wherever the ballot was at
tackled. In Maryland scores and hundreds
of Democrats, like Wallis, Marshall and
Brown, were aiding in the movement to
put down tampering with the registration
lists and cheating at the ballot box. He
spoke Of the attempt to bride the County
Commissioners in their appointment OF
the judges of election of this county. He
also referred in not very complimentary
terms to his opponent, Mr.. Potee. He
also spoke in opposition of the Constitu-
tional Convention and styled ii as a ruse
to Dust the honest judiciary. He also re-
ferred to Senator jackson as ring politi
clan, and having voted in the Legislature
for all Of their Ubiquitous measures. Mr..
Randall was frequently and loudly APP
plauded during his speech. Hon. Francis
Miller, candidate for attorney general,
made a lengthy address. in which he
ably, and with telling effect. depicted the
conduction OF elections in Baltimore in
the last twelve years, and discussed the
character of many men who received state
and federal appointments in Maryland.
The meeting was also addressed by sever
al other speakers, including one colored
man from Baltimore, who was consider
ably incensed at the idea of refusing col
ored people reserved seats in an opera
house or a place of amusement, as he had
been told was the case in Annapolis.

The "basket sociable," popular in
Texas, is described as follows: Each
young lady is to provide n handsome
basket containing lunch for two. These
baskets will be for sale to the gentle
men present, and each purchaser will
be entitled to the privilege of entertain
ing for the evening the lady whose
name he will find in the basket" The
New Orleans Picayune regards this as
dandy scheme. 1t gives the girl a
chance to eat part of the contents of her
own basket with young man thrown

IMPURE WATER.
Diseases Caused by the Faulty Construc-
ton of Farm Wells.

Diseases Caused by the Faulty Construc-
ton of Farm Wells.
It becomes more and more evident
each year that much of the sickness
prevalent in the country is directly at
tributable to the quality of the water.
BY carefully studying the matter it is
found that in nine cases out of ten
typhoid fevers originate in families
whose water supply is from q well, into
which impure water comes. This may
be from the farm-yard, and quite gem
orally such is the case. For some years
the water in well near the house may
be pure and wholesome, but by-and-by
the soil between it and the barn-yard
will become SO impregnated with pollu-
ton that an unhealthy quality will be inn
partedto it, and disease will result from
its use. This is almost sure to be the case
when the distance between the two is not
great, because, rs general thing, the
bottom of the we'll is lower than the yard,
and the drainage from the latter will
extend in all directions through tho
most porous strata of soil, and when it
reaches the well it will naturally flow
into it AS reservoir. No matter how
pure the water may have been when
the well was first dug, sooner or Later
it will be contaminated by water flow
ing through the soil from barnyards
and cess-pools located anywhere near
1t. We have in mind case in which
four children died from diphtheria. An
examination by the physician proved
that the Stops from the kitchen had so
filled the soil for distance of twenty
feet between the back door, out of
which they were thrown and the well,
that the water in the latter was pol
luted by foul gases, and from the use Of
it dinhthcria had certainly resulted.
When making IL well have it, if pos
sible, above the barn-yard, and let the
drainage be from it rather than INTO 1t.
Arr5age place for Stops with u cement
bottom and sides, from which glazed
pipes. cemented together, allow the un-
healthy matter TO dow oil and away
from the well. --Anlerjcan AqyiculaITisL

Afterward the body is borne to q great
burial tower, there to be exposed to the
winds of heaven, the burning sun, the
beating rain and all the host of foul
carrion birds. Some rich families have
a private tower of their own, a sort of
family mausoleum. The public burial
towers, of which there are five, stand
on Malabar Hill, in garden of flower
ing shrubs overlooking the sea. Here,
amid fragrant bowers of roses and jes-
samine, stand these Towers of Silence,
as they are called, ghastly receptacles
for the dead. They are about thirty
feet high and siXtysfeet wide. On the
top of each is an open grating on which
the bodies are laid in three circles
children in the center, then the women
and men at the outer edge. Innumer-
able birds Of prey are forever lowering
with sharp hungry cries around these
towers, or sitting perched on them, SOL
EMMY waiting for the grateful feast

which daily averages three Parsees, be-
sides women and children. for it is esti-
mated that each day three of these
prosperous, intelligent, well-to-do-look-
ing merchants find their last resting
place in the voracious maws of these
ravenous birds. And when the birds
have done their part, and winds and
sun and rain have all combined to
whiten the skeleton to a thing like pol
ished ivory, gradually the bones sepa-
rate and fall through the open grating

is said, they are taken by subtcrra-

THE OK TEAM.
A Simple Way of Winter Handling OF
Steers for the Market.


Steers for the Market.
Agriculture was introduced to the
world through labor performed under
the yoke, and while the average work
horse is quicker in his step than the
average OK, still the days of usefulness
of the latter are very far from being over
with. The OK team is verbally the poot
mans team, for the expenses for keep
are light, and the harness maker and
sheer bring in no bills. In the case of
those who have steers on hand and
propose to do any portion of the coming
seasons work with these, it is well to
take up their training during the leisure
hours of winter. 1t is good plan to
take heavy hardwood post, twelve TO
eighteen inches in diameter, about eight
feet long. Saw in, all around, eight
inches from one end, leaving material
in the center, OF heart of the stick, for a
pin two inches thick. Dress this pin
smooth. Plant the other end of the
post firmly, three to three and half
feet into the ground. Cut sapling
twenty-five 4. feet long. Bore two or
three holes in the butt end of the
stick, and large enough to admit the
two-inch pin in the top Of the post. Let
these holes be four to six, or eight feet
from the large end. Measure off the
usual length of an OK bow at the small
end, and bore holes atsuitable distances
for the customary OK bow. With the
bows ready, yoke your steers to the
pole, giving them the short end of the
lever at first then later = greater length
by changing the hole on the post pin.
Tie large, soft rope, or other suitable
substance around each steer at the ioin.
attaching the two together at this point,
that they may not swing around, turn
ing the yoke" The steers, thus yoked,
will rush around the post, and doing so
get dizzy; if they fall do not be con-
cerned, for they will get up again pres
emily, repeating the same thing over,
until, without the use of CAD or useless
harsh word of command, they will be-
come subdued and ready to be hitched
to the cart. Men who have had years
of experience with working oxen have
declared this to be the safest plan, and
most economical in the matter of time
required to get entire control of the
steer, however wild he may be.-Na-

AN HONEST INDIAN,
One of the Amusing "Reminiscences Re-
lated by General Scott.

lated by General Scott.
General Scott used to narrate a story
about one of his Virginia connections,
Colonel Charles Scott, after he had
been made prisoner of war at the
surrender of Charleston, s. c., in 1871.
His health became so bad that he OBJ
tanned his parole; and having procured
horse and chair for himself, and q
horse for his servant and put some pro-
visions and bottle of spirits into the
chair-box (for there were few houses
of accommodation on the road he was
about to traveD, the General was placed
in his small carriage and set out for his
native State, Virginia.
On his march to Charleston he ac-
quired the knowledge of remarkably
cool spring, about twelve or fourteen
miles from the city, encompassed by a
fine shade, and not more than hun
dred yards from the road. He ordered
his servant to drive to the spot, which
was soon found. AS the General was
so feeble that he could neither walk nor
stand alone, his servant spread his
cloak upon the grass, took him from his
chair and laid him down to rest.
The British commander had sedu-
lousy prohibited all communications to
the American prisoners either by letters
or newspapers, in consequence of which
it was extremely difficult to learn what
was going on. General Scott was de-
sirous to know if the Americans had
any force in the field in that quarter of
the country, and if so, to learn their
strength and position. He ordered his
servant to keep q lookout, and if he saw
any person passing along the road to
halt and ask him to come to the spring.
After some time the servant remarked
to the General that he saw dirty-look-
ing Indian coming up the road. Direct
him to come here" said the General
He did so, and something like the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
General-How do you do?
Indian-O, how do?
General-Where are you going?
Indian--To the lower Catawba town.
General--What are you going there
forp
Indian-1 am going to preach.
General-Aye, so you preach, do you?
Indian-O, yes; me preach sometime
General-Well! do they pay you any
for preaching?
Indian-Yes, little-twenty shillings
each town pay me twenty shillings
General-Why, that is blanked poor
pay.
Indian-Aye, and blanked poor
preach, too.
The General was so pleased with the
prompt and candid reply of the Indian
that he burst into fit of laughter, and
for long time he could not restrain
himself When he became composed
he discovered that he had got into a
considerable perspiration, which he had
not felt before since his sickness. The
bottle of spirit had been put into the
spring to cool; the provisions were taken
out of the chair-boX; the General and
the Indian ate and drank together, and
the General was heard to declare that
he ate and drank with a better appetite
than he had done since he had been a
prisoner He was helped into his chair
again, pursued his journey, continued
to improve in health, and when he az
rived at his residence (Petersburg) he
was perfectly restored. Ben: PerleY
